  • Patent number: 11823997
    Abstract: A functional chip includes a substrate including a first face and a second face, the second face of the substrate forming the front face of the functional chip; a first oxide layer on the first face of the substrate; a second oxide layer on the first oxide layer; a first routing level formed on the surface of the second oxide layer in contact with the first oxide layer; a third oxide layer on the second oxide layer wherein a semiconductor component is inserted; a rear face formed by the surface of the third oxide layer opposite the second oxide layer, the rear face including superconductor routing tracks surrounded at least partially by one or more conductor routing tracks, the semiconductor component being connected to the superconductor routing tracks via superconductor vias and the conductor routing tracks of the rear face being connected to the routing level via conductor vias.

  • Publication number: 20230170305
    Abstract: An integration structure for connecting a plurality of semiconductor devices, includes a substrate, a first face and a second face for receiving the semiconductor devices. At the first surface, at least one routing level includes at least one non-superconducting conductive routing track of a conductive material; and at least one superconducting routing track of a superconducting material. At the second surface, at least one routing level includes at least one non-superconducting conductive routing track of a conductive material; and at least one superconducting routing track of a superconducting material. The integration structure includes at least one non-superconducting conductive via connecting a non-superconducting conductive routing track of the first face to a non-superconducting conductive track of the second face and/or at least one superconducting via connecting a superconducting routing track of the first face to a superconducting track of the second face.

  • Publication number: 20230017631
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and intended to connect a first electronic component to a second electronic component located on the first surface by at least one conductor track, the conductor track including a plurality of sections disposed one after the other in such a way as to form the conductor track, each section being constituted of a superconducting material chosen in such a way as to form with the section that follows it, if such a section exists, and the section that precedes it, if such a section exists, an acoustic mismatching interface (or Kapitza interface).

  • Publication number: 20130220840
    Abstract: A contact lens case assembly includes a base having at least a first well and at least a first lid removeably connected to selectively cover and expose the first well. At least a first decorative cover member is removeably and replaceably attached to the first lid. The assembly can also include a second well, a second lid, and a second decorative cover member. A projection-receiver arrangement between the decorative cover member and the lid helps to attach the cover member to the lid.
